So as in the last post, I had explained that I would be talking about The Beatles for my independent project. I read an interesting article from the view point of another person about George Harrison on George Harrison and India. It was an interesting article in the fact that at the beginning, he had stated that The Beatles were racist against Indians in a movie of theirs. George Harrison is the one who became more close to Hinduism and was the first to become intrigued by it. The Beatles had started a liking for Hinduism by wearing clothes that were from India. They also wrote several songs that were based off of Hinduism. George had even taken a strong liking for Krishna. Of course, to the Westerners who started to get involved with Hinduism started what was called the "Hippie Movement". I do believe that The Beatles influenced a lot of Hinduism throughout the world and I'm becoming more and more fascinated by why they got so spiritually connected to it. Possibly just because it made them happy? Sunday, February 16, 2014

World Religions Class
World Religions
Hi, I'm Reid. I'm currently taken a class called World Religions and in this class I have to do an "Independent Project" for my teacher. The project is about reading something I enjoy that relates to any of the Religions we talk about- Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Native American Spirituality, Judaism, Christianity, Taoism, and Western Philosophers- and do something such as a paper, drawing a picture, or simply writing poems about it. I've decided to write about The Beatles and their spiritual lives. The Beatles have always been a really important part of my life. My uncle, as I was growing up, introduced The Beatles and Hinduism to me at a very young age. Since my uncle passed away at the age of twenty-eight, I've dug deeper into all the religions that he dabbled in, in hopes that maybe theres a way to be closer to him. My uncle was a fan of Hinduism and The Beatles, so I'm fascinated at how and why they were so connected to Hinduism- especially George Harrison- and wanted to educate myself more.
